Fake Crisis?

Dear Cap'n

The economy crisis, is it a fake?

I’m looking around me and i still see people eating at restaurants, i see people buying and buying like as if they are epileptic in a middle of a seizure, and although there were some mass dismissals in the industry, yet, there are many jobs available.

so what’s going on?

do we ignore the situation and just act as if everything is ok ? or….is it really ok.. and the crisis is exaggerated by someone who wants to cause a chaos that will lead to a war?

Economy in these days is driven a lot by our emotions, even much more then logic.. emotions influence us much more then proofs and facts.

Don’t listen to the papers or all other authorities that are financed by companies. they create panic and a snowball effect that innocent people fall into.

Be smart, test it by your own, do research, collect facts and proofs, don’t go blindly after those who “do the hard work” for you and come up with their conclusions that may be wrong. and remember - Smart people are those who check the reality by their own, even if it takes an effort..

Hmmm... Yair Brain in. "Yar Brain In"? Without getting into a Strongbad voice, first I'm going to say congratulations upon using your own eyes and experience rather than listening to those folks who are on the street corners and 24 hour news pundits screaming about the end of the world.


While I agree that I also see people driving everywhere, still filling up their SUV's at the local Costco and Target stores, I also have noticed the sheer volume of traffic has gotten a little thinner. I'm also guessing you don't know any old Boomers who were about to retire? Ask those folks who are rattled by their 401K's and pensions back to 1997 levels how many new cars and fancy restaurants they've tried out lately.

Which kind of leads to a thought I was having - which was that I think it's time we all just decide that the "Crisis" is over, and just go about living our lives.

There's a choice to be made. We either go right back to pointless consumerism that cares more about American Idol results and what color the newest iPod Phone matches our shoes, or we're going to throw off our clothes, form communes, tear up our lawns for collective farming, recycling our poo and sing Koombia until the sun goes down.

Me? I've decided I'm not going to participate. 

Thanks for writing in.
